Steve,
If this will only be used in one column no need to create a class, just go and edit that column.text1's gotfocus, lostfocus.
Otherwise create the class, drop on to the columns that it will be used and delete default control text1 (or set currentcontrol="myTextbox1"). Preferably add a property as savemask to class so your inputmask would be more generic (not constant as 999,999.99):

define class myTextbox as Textbox
savemask = .f.
procedure init
this.savemask = this.inputmask
endproc
procedure gotfocus
this.inputmask = chrtran(this.inputmask,",","") && remove commas
endproc
procedure lostfocus
this.inputmask = this.savemask && Revert to saved mask
endproc
enddefine
